OK, you're line attenuation is just a wee bit on the high side but consistent with your distance from the exchange. Noise looks about par for the course. Your speed figures are also consistent with the attenuation levels and distance.
The critical point is that if I read you right whilst you were obtaining the stats on your ADSL line you could not log in to your ISP That is a pretty clear indication that the problem is *not* your ADSL line (as I've been saying all along). Never say never but it doesn't sound like it's a noise problem nor does it sound like your router is getting it's knickers in a twist However it *does* sound like you are having problems beyond that. It could be anything from routing problems at your local exchange onwards. I can't tell you where to find the following on your particular router but you need to find and right down the IP addresses ... Default Gateway Primary DNS Secondary DNS Then the net time you can't connect to your mailserver or a web site, try pinging each of those IP addresses and see what happens Bru > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of [email protected] > Sent: 07 February 2010 10:39 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [canals-list] Re: Home Broadband Questions for the > technocrats > > In a message dated 06/02/2010 09:00:46 GMT Standard Time, > [email protected] writes: > > However, knowing roughly from whence Mr Naylor hails, assuming this > map [1] is up to date, sadly the nearest he's going to get to fibre > optic is two torches and a length of hosepipe. > > I think the battery on one of the torches is flat! > > > > AS requested I have managed to get some stats from my router.
